GYPSUM CENTER NOTES.

To the Editor of tie Eagle.
SlR:-Will you kindly permit ne to
trespass once more on your valuable space?
Since we last wrote We have had two
churches orga, lied in our part OF the
township, a Presbyterian and Methodist,
and both are IN d fouri>hing condition.
One in our own community, where the
Rev. S. L. Hamilton has held services on
alternate SabbaihS through The summer
and fall, and The ether IN The Carlton coss
munity, where the Rev j. d. Woods has
been having great success with revival
meetings.
Gypsum may well gay, There is corn
in Egypt yet She has had nothing to
grieve over during the past year, except
the defeat Of the railroad boads. which is
disgrace to Us and our enterprising town
ship. However, the EAGLES remarks on
our action has changed some Of our neigh
bors in their way OF think
ing, and cleared away all the
fog that blinded our neig h5or's eyes as to
their own coed All, or most all. are now
willing to give the bonds another trial
Gypsum ought, as YOU say. 10 work for
the good Of Wichita, and will, for swhcn
she's working for Wichita's coed she's
working for her own, indirectly, if not
directly.
Well, We will drop the subject till after
our next trial in the township. After
few weeks the EAGLE will he congratulate
ing Us on our victory.
We'll, about Christmas. 1t passed by
very quietly. Mr. John 4. Smith, Of
Gypsum Center, gave his friends a highly
enjoyable Christmas dinner on that day.
Among the friends invited were: Dr. and
Mrs Kirkwood and family, of Wichita;
Mr.. and Mrs n G. Tit and family, of
Gypsum Center, and the writer. Nr.
Smith is full Of enterprise, and is always
in for building up the community in which
he resides He is the founder of enterprise
at Gypsum, and is large property owner
and speculator in Wichita sIr Smith and
his friends enjoyed merry Christmas, and
we wish them all happy New Year. And
in conclusion, though we.are 4 little late,
we join with all others in wishing the EA-
GLE a happy New Year. Yeurs truly,

NO PLACE LIKE WICHITA.

The following letter, though evidently
intended for private perusal, Is good
enough for publication. The gentleman
who writes it is a merchant and was in
Wichita few weeks since investing IN
property: .,
NEWARK. O., Dec. 81.
Mr. Il H. Murdoch. Wichita. Kan.
DEAR SIR:-What is the matter. l have
not received a paper this week, can't get
along without the EAGLE. / see real estate
is still lively since 1 left. l bought day
before Yesterday, of c. E. & L. r. Cole,
four pieces by telegraph. l had MIR.
Rhoads, of the firm of Rochelle & Rhoads.
of your city, to take dinner with me yes
terday. I used to know him several years
ago in Ohio. He says his partner wrote
him that they sold one piece on Christmas
day for Sal 600, pretty good Christmas
present, / thank you.
Mr. Rho ads is visiting in Columbus and
herea bouts, and says he will remain two or
three weeks. He thinks there is no place
like Wichita fully agree with him. L
have travelled since February over 5000
miles; have been in Kansas City, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, Chattanooga, Birmingham.
New Orleans, Charleston, Norfolk, and
all through the East, twice through Texas,
in San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego.
and Los Angeles, and the only place
have struck that comes any way near your
city is Birmingham, and next to this is Los
Angeles | came pretty near buying in the
latter named places, but am glad did not
since seeing your place. In speaking of
the above Kansas City, l will say. com
pare Wichita as to the size Of Kansas City,
as matter course. In Los Angeles sit
uated as property On Main, between First
and Second would command $1,000 per
foot front. (vacant LOTT, and in the
small town of San Diego, where
they talk nothing but climate and their
bay vacant lots on Fifth Gheir main
street, they ask 5000 to $500 per foot. This
town lies right up against the foot hills and
to get out TO boat you have to go out on
pilings 800 or 400 feet. 1t is protected by
a low peninsula and is the only good har-
Dor on the coast besides San Francisco.
Even in slow going Santa Barbara, without
ralro ad, property is about as high as in
Wichita. Neither of these places will ever
make, in my opinion, a commercial city. l
must say did fall in love with Los An
gcles, and next to your city, for beauty
and inve stment this would be my selec-
ton. l am trying my best to dispose of
my stock of goods here and will then go to
Wichita to operate permanently. Our PEG
pie in this section can hardly understand
or realize how it can be possible that q
town in the far west can spring from a
town Of 6, 600 to o., Geo in three years, and
ask me the question, what is there to keepit
up? | answer the best country in the
world and a population 5,C00 larger than
oar county, which is eighty-fve years old,
and the counties surrounding nearly as
populous as the county Of Sedgmick. Elk
cuse being rather prolix. | remain.
Yours respectfully,

Please allow me few more words on

Kelly is very different in my estimate.
He cannot be the bosom friend of all that

to him. don't you know. would be to con
fess myself a fool He should learn 10 re-
sDect another's honest thought; to take
broader views Of industrial economy and
of life and 10 despiSe nothing so much as

from The American Dairyman of the 10th

Poor butter is made by the ton. by the

some of the reasons, enough: Poorly fed

cellar faint it. The cream is kept too long
and the taints are intensified. 1t is over
churned. 1t is over worked. II is over
salted. 1t is exchanged at the groceries
and dumped into dirty box, or bought by
packers and still further worked. Mixed
and colored, and packed with little skill.

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL

Some would-be smart editors snecringly
allude TO the fact that Jay Gould, when
interviewed, said that the interstate com
mcrce bin now being considered by con
gress, if passed would prove a calamity,
unless very greatly modified. So far as
the interests Of the western states are con
cerned Mr. Gould was undoubtedly correct
in his conclusion. If the bill becomes Il
law the western producers must look to
Canadian roads for relief, which at best
would prove very inadequate one. SO
far rs tranScontinental transportation is
concerned. the great trunk lines in their
competition with each other and with the
trunk lines of Canada and with the water
ways. will give the western producer and
western business generally far better and
cheaper service than any law which would
not be ruinous to American capital. Boards
of trade and other organizations in the
west are pursuing the right course in pro
testing against the Interstate commerce
bill

MEDICINE LODGE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The season of retrospection is upon Us.
That momentous period caught as fully
prepared to leok with composure upon the
panorama of the past years work. These
panegyric pictures of past, present and flu
ture prosperity are unusually numerous
this time. Every editor or correspondent
feels he is not doing his duty to his con-
stituency unless he writes q column or 40
of ''how we boom, 1.-the work of year"
etc
Medicine Loge has not made nearly so
good showing .as Wichita, bul has done
very well. considering the fact that she had
to wrestie with Greenbackers, Abrcada-
bras, Knights Of Labor and other anti-pro-
gressive organizations. About one year
ago she first enjoyed that much sought af
ter title, railroad town. A great many ex-
pected great boom, sort of Jumbo time.
to inaugurate at once; they expected the
population to jump phenominally from
1 800 to 5000. But great expectations did
not materialize
Medicine Lodge has enjoyed, however,
what is more substantial-a gradual, con
tinuous growth, kind Of get-there- bime-
by bO9m. She has not built so many Gle
waited gas railroads as some Of her neigh
bors, but she has been invited to consider
as many propositions from substar-
-, Il
town in Southern Kansas, and but for
the whole-hog or-none connivance Of some
of the citizens of southern Barber she
would be congratulating herself upon the
speedy connection with the larger CONNER
cial centers of the country by means of the
Kansas & Panhandle aoad.
Within the last twelve months there has
been erected in Medicine Lodge seventy
live buildings, at a cost of $l25, coo, or ST.
6G6 23 for each building
The Thompson block, just about COM
p'etcd, will be occupied on the first floor by
the Citizens National bank, the Wholesale
and retail general supply house of Sheldon
& Ramsey, and the Cresset printing and
binding establishment The second floor
is cut up into office. and an opera house
5Ox1GO feet This building, furnished, will
cost about $4,000.
The large double block of John Higgins,
furniture, and the Byerley. Dark & Run
yam Dry Goods company is now ready for
occupation

opinion that her most sangune hopes will |
be realized before we are called upon to |
draw another retrosp ecive pen picture.

FORT SCOTT MONITOR.

OF late years we have thought that
the great extra holiday editions gotten out
by dailies FOR the purpose of showing up
the businss, development and other inter
ests of their respective cities, were largely
lost or that such editions had ceased TO at
tract attention or prove effective advertising.
Bat in looking over the Daily Monitor ex-
hibit of 1T. Scott we are forced to acknow,
ledge that such showing is of incalcuable
value and advantage We congratulate.
therefore, General Rice and his sons on
